Best blue light blocking glasses:There are a lot of different brands making these anti-blue light glasses and we have gathered all the best here. They are marketed to different purposes but pretty much do the same kind of thing with slightly different technologies.

These are often referred to as sleeping glasses because the blue blocking effect starts melatonin production which helps you sleep.

How do anti-blue light glasses work?

Blocking out blue light with blue light glasses

We are in the era of electronics. During the evening you are probably watching something on Netflix, YouTube, TV, catching up on work on a computer or a tablet or just surfing the web. It’s okay, so is everyone else. These artificial lights from gadgets emit a blue glow, a light wavelength similar to the day time sky. This blue light enters your eyes and signals your brain to think it is still day time. Taking this signal, your brain then restricts the flow of melatonin through your body.

While many are aware of how blue light from electronics disrupts sleep, many do not know that about 25% of the blue light from fluorescent lighting and 35% from LED lights is also damaging to eye health, over time raising the risk of vision problems including macular degeneration. The degeneration is pretty subtle and minimum but why take any risks? Due to this fact eye strain is also eliminated.

Melatonin effectsMelatonin (also known as the sleep hormone) is naturally produced in your body, when your eyes sense darkness at night. In addition to helping you sleep better, it sets your sleep-wake cycle. Imagine just waking up naturally without having to use an annoying alarm clock and actually feeling fresh in the morning. These glasses are also known as Nighttime glasses and that’s the reason.

Glare protectionThe same technology that blocks the blue light filters also some green and yellow light that create the annoying glares. Especially the glares from reflected surfaces (snow, water, sidewalks, windshields and store windows) and make for more comfortable experiences for both recreational activities, such as boating, fishing, golfing, and daily activities, including shopping, driving and working in the yard.
